750ml bottle. Pours a golden color with a fair bit of carbonation. Nose is fermented apple. Mostly sweet apple flavor with a bit of tartness in the background. Finishes sweet with some brown sugar notes. This was pretty tasty- I enjoyed this a lot more than some of the recent mass-produced ciders out there.

Glasses at Le Tomifobia - Stanstead, Quebec. Solid mineral, chalk, light caramel and clean juice aroma. A nicely honeyed and settled flavor. More mineral sensation, a warming toasted sugar glow, and good balance of acidity and alcohol, with just the right nips of acid and tannin for balance. I think this is pretty nice example.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2013 750ml bottle (RImi, Tallinn) - 5.0% clear (7:3:6:4:12=3.2)
Beautiful sparkling gold, gives you a shower as you approach to sniff it. Glorious dry apply aroma, a touch of the sour bite in the aroma. Fairly thin palate, crisp carbonation. But easy to glug - I was very thirsty. Taste again dry, apple skins, not so full, compared to the aroma. Finish woody and corky, so so dry. Again, a superbly crafted French cidre.
Rerate: 330ml bottle (Kuikka, Helsinki) - 5% cloudy (7:4:7:4:13=3.5)
Cloudy orange. Lovely aroma as above, Fuller taste, gentle toffee sweetness, touch of bacon. Just as refreshing . Crisp. Packed full of apples. Light tanniny finish. Absolute stormer of a cidre - omnomnon! Curious how this is the same thing as the inferiour clear one, this had loads of crud in the bottle.
